Love this place. The old school building it’s in is cool, and they have tons of exhibits. Seeing the process of mining is fascinating. Tons of mineral specimens to check out too. Been 3 times with a few friends - definitely worth a visit if you’re in town.

Pretty neat place. The mine experience is really cool, lots to look at. Tedious for small children, but for those who love history, this place is huge and packed full of interesting artifacts.
